4 subarus, 1 SRT, and 1 Evo. An STI is leading the class right now, followed by the SRT, and then the AMS EVO. Come on AMS, lets keep this class dominated by Evos!!!!! Lay it to them.

They're doing a lot better than we were at this point last year. They still have plenty of time to haul those guys in The Sti has to blow up at some point They can't make EVO levels of power for long

Go AMS!!!

we will have an update for you guys later today.

It is the same evo that went 10.0 but it is dialed down considerably for the event along with the 35R turbo.

You aren't kidding! Though at 9PM, they were finally back on the road.

They blew 2 freeze plugs out of the block when their boost controller decided to send 34psi into the engine. Luckily, the engine seemed fine. Four of us from New England Club DSM were there, and we helped take the intake manifold and thermostat housing off so we could bang some freeze plugs back into the block. It took two trips to the auto parts store by Dominic and Craig to find the right size plugs. Chris banged them in with some JB Weld (quick) around the edges. Hopefully they will stay put.

I think we all finally rolled out of NHIS at 7PM and drove down to meet up with Leon Reitman, who had a Hallman manual boost controller for Martin to install on the car to replace the EBC.

Martin, Jon, and Ray are an absolute class act! I'm glad I got the chance to meet you guys!

Apparently Martin really likes ketchup.

Bling bling! Doesn't even look like it lost all its coolant, does it?

Josh, a big thanks to you and your friends who were able to lend a helping hand. Great pics.
I'm hoping the dragracing event later today will move them into the top ten overall and a bit closer to second in their class.
